Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 18, 2017, Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to its Term Loan due 2019 (the “Term Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent; PNC Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent; U.S. Bank National Association, Fifth Third Bank and Branch Banking and Trust Company as Co-Documentation Agents; and the following additional lenders: Bank of Montreal – Chicago Branch; First Tennessee Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia, National Association; and Pinnacle National Bank.

The amendment to the Term Loan extends the maturity date to December 16, 2022 and reduces the spread over LIBOR relating to the cost of borrowing by 10 basis points, based on the Company's current unsecured debt ratings. As amended, the Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to (x) LIBOR plus (y) a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% (currently 1.10% under the amendment) based upon the Company’s unsecured debt ratings (the "Applicable Margin"). Prior to the amendment, the cost of borrowing under the Term Loan was equal to (x) LIBOR plus (y) a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.95% (1.20% immediately prior to the amendment). $150.0 million will remain outstanding under the Term Loan.

On December 20, 2017, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps totaling $25.0 million to hedge the 1-month LIBOR portion of the cost of borrowing under the Term Loan to a fixed rate of interest of 2.18% through December 16, 2022, to which the Applicable Margin will be added (currently 1.10%). The remainder of the Term Loan will continue to be subject to the variable 1-month LIBOR rate.

The above description of the amendment to the Term Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
